METALLICA: Official Footage Of Warsaw Concert

METALLICA‘s official YouTube channel Metallica TV has been updated with fly-on-the-wall footage shot by a MetOnTour.com reporter on July 11 in Warsaw, Poland. The 26-minute clip includes footage of bassist Robert Trujillo, guitarist Kirk Hammett and drummer Lars Ulrich in the Met Club meet-and-greet, warming up in the Tuning Room and “For Whom The Bell Tolls” and “The Call Of Ktulu” from the show.

As previously reported, METALLICA stars in the latest ESPN “This Is SportsCenter” ad. The clip, which debuted on July 14 during this year’s All-Star Home Run Derby, plays off the idea that the band members don’t know what to do with themselves since Yankees star reliever Mariano Rivera retired last season and took his “Enter Sandman” entrance music with him — so the band begins a desperate search for something else to do.

Drummer Lars Ulrich said, “Sometimes it can be quite freeing to put yourself at the mercy of others. ESPN‘s commercials have a tendency to be hilarious. We were like, ‘That sounds like a good time.’ The whole thing had an overriding impulsivity to it.”
